4. The method of claim 3, further comprising detaching the volume from the restore service virtual machine, attaching the volume to the restored virtual machine, and restarting the application on the restored virtual machine.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the second PiT is later in time than the selected PiT.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein the second PiT is earlier in time than the selected PiT.

7. The method of claim 3, further comprising, when the second PiT is later in time than the selected PiT, writing segments that are identified in reviewing the segments as changed to the volume, wherein only a latest change for a given segment is written to the volume.

8. The method of claim 3, further comprising, when the second PiT is earlier in time than the selected PiT, identifying dirty segments that need to be overwritten and overwriting the dirty segments on the volume with most recent segments that were written to before or on the second PiT.

9. The method of claim 3, further comprising ignoring segments associated with the OS disk.

10. The method of claim 3, wherein the PiTs are stored in a first storage comprising an object storage and wherein the restored virtual machine is in a compute environment associated with a different storage, wherein converting the image of the virtual machine includes at least preparing the restored virtual machine to operate on a hypervisor, setting configurations, and adding/removing drivers.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the data disk and the OS disk are the same disk.

15. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 14, the operations further comprising detaching the volume from the restore service virtual machine, attaching the volume to the restored virtual machine, and restarting the application on the restored virtual machine.

16. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 14, wherein the second PiT is later in time than the selected PiT or wherein the second PiT is earlier in time than the selected PiT.

17. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 14, the operations further comprising, when the second PiT is later in time than the selected PiT, writing segments that are identified in reviewing the segments as changed to the volume, wherein only a latest change for a given segment is written to the volume.

18. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 14, the operations further comprising, when the second PiT is earlier in time than the selected PiT, identifying dirty segments that need to be overwritten and overwriting the dirty segments on the volume with most recent segments that were written to before or on the second PiT.

19. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 14, the operations further comprising ignoring segments associated with the OS disk.

20. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 14, wherein the OS disk and the data disk are the same disk.
